Sludge by-products from the metalworking industry have a high potential for recycling. Prolonged grinding processes can generate large amounts of highly valuable, alloy-rich sludge; consisting of metal powder and cooling lubricants. Inside our VacuDry system, the thermal separation of the liquids (hydrocarbons, eventually water) and solids (metal powder) takes place in an oxygen free atmosphere. This absence of oxygen ultimately eliminates material degradation by oxidation, and self-ignition or explosion risks. Operation under a low vacuum ensures the possibility to recover the cooling lubricants for later reuse. After the thermal treatment, for appropriate handling in the melting process, the metal powder is pressed into briquettes. With the econ VacuDry technology, 100% recycling of all ingredients is possible.

Scrap metal includes metals that can be reclaimed for use in manufacturing, processed for re-melting or prepared for disposal in landfills. These metals include industrial scrap metal and remainders, electronic scrap, aluminum and precious metals. Shredders prepare the metals for bailing and bundling, saving storage space, transportation and disposal costs. Quad shaft shredders reduce and separate electronic scrap and prototypes in one process, allowing for the recovery of precious metals. Dual or quad shaft shredders break bales or briquettes of pre-processed metal scrap for final size reduction and separation for reclamation or re-melting, allowing for recovery and reuse of the metals. Integrated systems include grinders and hammer mills for producing small size or powdered materials for reuse.

Metal swarf is valuable and heavy, and often voluminous; Three reasons to separate them into their components. Transportation becomes more efficient with reduced volume where it can then be reprocessed and transformed into cash. With WEIMA technology it is possible to shred all kinds of light metals to include aluminum or magnesium, also copper and brass. Irrespective of profile; tin, foil, long swarf or punching waste.

Ferrous scrap metal includes metals that can be reclaimed for use through traditional ferrous scrap recovery systems. These metals include a wide variety of light ferrous scrap such as sheet steel, 55 gallon drums, white goods, and other forms of loose tin. Heavier ferrous scrap can be processed through the Saturn hammermill line of shredders which also produce a more consistent, higher density shred. Shredders prepare the metals for further separation or directly to end ferrous scrap consumers. Additional Granutech machinery such as the MAC Magnum Logger, or MAC Big MAC auto crusher can compact and densify larger ferrous items reducing transportation costs.

The recycling of disused and obsolete electrical and electronic equipment is gaining more and more importance world-wide.
Waste electrical equipment is an incredibly rewarding source of raw materials. In Waste electrical equipment, up to hundreds of times more precious metals can be found per ton of material than in the primary source of raw material, ore. The goal for TITECH and the industry as a whole is to utilise electronic scrap recycling and sort out pollutants on one hand and profitable components in high purity on the other. For electronic recycling purposes, the EU classifies W??? into 10 categories. After separate collection of TVs, fridges and so on, they are processed and sorted in electronic scrap recycling systems.
The average content of thus gained materials is as follows: metals (50%), plastics (30%), glass (10%) and other materials (10%).

SolidWEAVE metal wire mesh has been used successfully for decades in systems for precoat filtration. High-tensile mesh constructions made of PZ-Microdur, KPZ-Microdur, YMAX® and Plain Dutch Weave form the basis for the long and trouble-free operation of precoat filter systems because they were specifically designed for the high mechanical demands of precoat filters.

Incinerator slag mainly consists of mineral components, metal scrap and other unburnt materials. With our separation systems we are able to treat both the untreated ash as well as the mixed and contaminated metal fraction. Out of both fraction we can recover a clean aluminum and a heavy metal fraction.

In addition to a homogenised granulate of your residual products, our customized shredding systems guarantee an optimal pre-product for further recycling or thermal utilisation in your plants. Pulper ropes or the reject are secondary raw materials that are created when waste paper is recycled. The pulper ropes must not be landfilled due to their material composition and must therefore be recycled accordingly – in most cases through shredding and subsequent separation of metals, glass and stones, etc. Our rotary shears or 2-shaft shredders together with our 4-shaft technology are very well suited for this application case. The advantage of the 4-shaft machines lies in the fact that the pre- and re-shredding occurs in one process step.

Our customized solutions enable you to efficiently shred electronic scrap in your recycling facility and they align perfectly with your recycling system. The granulate size is adjusted such that metals and non-metals can be separated and recycled as best as possible. More than 40 million tons of electrical and electronic scrap are generated annually – and the trend is growing dramatically! Recycling electronic devices is not just beneficial for environmental reasons. This scrap, as a rule, contains many precious metals that are recovered during the recycling process. To ensure a high yield during the recovery process, the shredding should generate only a very low amount of fine particles.

M&K plants divert Construction and Demolition waste from landfill by separating the waste into materials such as Hardcore, Soils, Wood(s), Metals, Stone, Cardboard, Paper and Plastic at the lowest possible cost per ton.
M&K Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Systems combine manual as well as automated sorting with the latest in feeding, screening & separation technology, allowing contractors to efficiently separate, sort and recover a wide variety of material types.
What is Construction and Demolition Waste?
C&D Waste is typically collected in open skip bins from construction or demolition sites.
